A few bugs from lately

[newb2pro_1day_or_so]

Here are a few bug shots I took recently. I'm still no pro at macro or photography in general by any means, but I can see an improvement in my pictures thanks to this forum and people like Alistar and LordV and everyone else who has helped me along the way.

The jumper shots are awesome, I particularly like #4.

I do find the background in #2 a little distracting though.

You did wel on the Jumpers considering the awkward position. Lighting seem harsh in 1 &3.

i like the jumpers. #5 is good, considering the situation and all. nice series

Thanks for the comments. I have yet to master how to diffuse the light. I made a popcan diffuser from LordV's tutorial...but I think I did a horrible job making it or using it, something along those lines. The jumpers are definitely my favorite. He was a good looking fellow.

Like the ichneumob wasp in #1 - wonderful eye colour plus the jumper shots are all good :)
